I’m reblogging this popular blog because neoliberalism is once again under attack in muddled left-wing argument. Left-wing writers fail to address productivity, skills, investment and financing a larger public sector, especially in the UK, with a smaller national cake post Brexit. Conservative politicians are guilty too, forgetting the successes of Reagan and Thatcher on the back of neoliberal intervention. Now conservative politicians prefer the discredited ‘traditional conservatism‘ or the flaky platform of the neocons.

I’m reblogging this popular blog. Technology is the real elephant in the room that the political classes ignore. Surely it ‘trumps’ labor market reform in France as immigration controls which underpin a hard-Brexit? Perhaps in Trump’s America the political classes are turning a blind eye to faster computerization to compensate for lost competitivity due to productivity, drug abuse and obesity?
